    Abstract: There is provided a method comprising: determining, by a first network node of a cellular communication network, that a transfer of a data block to a second network node of the cellular communication network needs a retransmission; determining whether at least one criterion for a size and/or latency requirements of said data block is met; and as a response to determining that the at least one criterion is met, performing the retransmission according to a first set of rules, otherwise performing the retransmission according to a second set of rules.

    Abstract: Initial Setting and Configuration of E-UTRAN for Energy-Efficient IOPS Certain embodiments of the invention generally relate to initial setting and configuration of E-UTRAN for energy-efficient isolated E-UTRAN operation for public safety. A method may include determining an initial configuration mode of a network element for setting up a self-controlled radio access network. The method may also include determining an initial downlink transmission power of the network element coupled with the determined initial configuration mode. The method may further include detecting a need of changing downlink transmission power of the network element based on at least one of traffic demands and conditions of the self-controlled radio access network. The method may also include determining a new downlink transmission power. The method may further include indicating the change of at least one of the downlink transmission power and the initial configuration mode to at least one user equipment.

    Abstract: A concept of having at least one representative access node for inter-operator interactions for spectrum sharing between a first operator's network and one or more further operators' networks is introduced, the representative access node being discoverable by a discovery procedure performed by access nodes. According to an example implementation, a method or technique may include performing a discovery procedure for discovering one or more representative access nodes for inter-operator interactions for spectrum sharing between a first operator's network and one or more further operators' networks, and causing a transmission of results of the discovery procedure to a controlling entity.

    Abstract: An apparatus comprising at least one processor, and at least one memory for storing instructions to be executed by the processor, wherein the at least one memory and the instructions are configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least: to receive and process a data transmission related to a communication channel allocated to a device-to-device broadcast communication, to determine an occupation state related to the received data transmission, to prepare an occupation indication related to the determined occupation state, and to conduct a processing for transmitting the occupation indication.

    Abstract: A cluster of access points is determined for a terminal device for multi-connectivity, an access points in the cluster belonging either to a first subset or to a second subset; an access point in the first subset being configured by a first configuration configuring the access point to receive and forward one or more scheduled transport blocks from the terminal device and/or to the terminal device; and an access point in the second subset being configured by a second configuration configuring the access point to decide whether or not to receive and forward one or more scheduled transport blocks from the terminal device and/or to the terminal device and act accordingly.
